Miracles happen when you believe. Hilot has been known as a folkloric medicine that is based on spirituality and mysticism but when you spend time discovering its ways you will see the arts and science behind it. Our ancestors who practice this as our First Medicine are unschooled individuals who has no Certificates, Diploma or Professional License to practice it but it works wonders on their patients.
Not all Manghihilot were born as Manghihilot. Some of them became a Patient first that been healed by a manghihilot from chronic illness and as part of thanksgiving to God they swear an oath to continue the practice of Hilot to preserve it. From observation and oral instruction they emulate how their manghihilot heal them and apply it to their family and later to their neighborhood. Some Manghihilot learn through the recollection of their memories on how their parents and grandparents personally apply our indigenous medicine to them when they are sick. And through practice they enhance their abilities to heal.
There are no formal schools of Hilot way back then. They learn Hilot through apprenticeship, observation and oral instructions given to them by their elders. There is no certificate, diploma or professional license given to them as a proof that they know how to perform hilot. The only proof that you are manghihilot is that you perform and obtain favorable results in your action that is Healing.
It takes a lot of courage and confidence in order to be a Manghihilot. That is why sometimes it is considered also as a Faith Healing Modality because you need a lot of faith and trust in your ability that you can work wonder in healing your patient. Being a Manghihilot is not a Certified Professional but they are Ordained Minister in bringing back wellness into life. Since the main belief in Hilot is that Life is a sacred gift from the Divine, and our body is the house of the spirit so the work of manghihilot does not only focus on the Physical matter but also works on the soul and spiritual well being.
This morning i received an appointment for Sprained Ankle which the patient describes as ipit ugat or clipped nerves. It is necessary for me to see the client so that i could palpate the area which gives pain to the client to assess if the pain is caused by clipped nerve or muscles. And after she describes her condition she asked if she could take a bath on the next day.
First of all in having a Hilot Pahid Massage Treatment, the manghihilot apply a herbal medicated oil in your body that needs to penetrate your skin to absorbs its healing properties. The oil is rubbed to fresh green leaves such as the banana leaf and heated it over the flame of fire to add up the therapeutic value of the oil. Washing it out immediately will lose the therapeutic properties of the medicine applied.
After having Hilot Pahid Massage, allow our body to absorb all the medicines being applied unto us for at least a minimum time of 3 hours to 8 hours maximum. I understand that there is a sticky feeling after the treatment because of the oil that been applied to your body. Accompanying the sticky feeling is also the scent or aroma of the coconut oil blended with herbs. So the next time you will have Hilot Pahid Massage, ask your manghihilot first on your condition so that you will know how long you are not allowed to take a bath or get wet.

Throughout the ages, the common Filipino people have a bottle of Healing Oil kept in their home altar. Within these bottle relies the health and life of their Family. Whenever a family member is in pain or have illness, the bottle of oil is used to be applied on the person to invoke healing to come and make the person whole again. This bottle of oil also becomes a detector if there are some evil forces nearby their home. It is seen that the oil inside the bottle will become bubbly, or the outside surface of the bottle has moist as if the oil spilled out or even the oil inside the bottle is boiling. This is why we often see a bottle of healing oil being sold nearby churches. Because the oil need to be blessed in order for its properties to take effect.
Hilot is the Traditional Medicine of the Philippines. It is the traditional cure for the illness known as Pilay. Pilay has many form but it literally means Brokenness. According to 
As a Manghihilot who lives in this modern time, we see and acknowledge the works of our Traditional Healers who embrace and incorporate their faith in their healing practices such as the Albularyo and Spiritual Healers. But most of these healers already have embraced the Colonial Spirituality such as the Islamic Faith and Catholicism. And on the remote areas of our country even though they call on the Ancient Names of their tribal God still they equate these names to the Christian God or saints. The Philippines has almost 110 Ethno Linguistic Groups and from these groups the name of God are called differently according to their spoken language and dialect. But as i search for a Local God of Healing in the Philippines, there is one name mentioned that has no origin and historical support. And that God is known as KILUBANSA.
Kilubansa Healing Ritual Ceremony is a procedure of healing practices taught by the spirit of Kilubansa. It is a diagnostic and at the same time an energetic medicine that will balance the elemental forces of your body. The procedures includes the Elemental Name Energetic balance analysis, Tahan Hupa Water Ritual, Pagpag Taboy Ritual, and Dampi Pauli Ritual.
